Plum is rich source of vitamins C and K and dietary fibers. Sugar content depends on the variety. Plums can be used raw or in the form of juices, jellies, marmalades and cakes. Dried plums are known as prunes. They are often consumed during the winter, when fresh fruit is not available.Reference: http://www.softschools.com/facts/plants/plum_facts/667/

ROCKS ON THE SLEDDING HILL

We will soon be able to use the snow tubes. It will be very helpful if you can pick up any rocks you see on the sledding hill and return them to the pathway edges. These rocks will damage the bottom of our snow tubes if left on the hill. Thank you.
